Hi I have just got back from the hospital and the Dr had given me 28X prednisolone. On the sticker she's wrote : Take 6 tablets once a day for 3 days. Does this mean take 6 tablets all at once or spread it through the day? It just seems a little wild taking 6 in 1 go... why not just put me on a higher dose...? ## Hello, Charlie! How are you? Unless the instructions say otherwise, you can do either, or; you can split them up, or take them all at once. This medication can cause nausea, anxiety, insomnia and nervousness as side effects, so some people do prefer to take them all at once, in the morning, so they aren't dealing with such issues at bedtime. It could simply be that the dosage you needed is hard to find. Is there anything else I can help with?

Prednisolone I spaced 5mg 8a day every 4hrs is this wrong read the lable wrong, will it still have the same affect ## Hello, Pinkbike! How are you? What does the label say? Usually, it's just to take that many in a day, but they can be spaced out or taken altogether. The FDA classifies this medication as a steroid and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne and weight gain.

Hi, I have steroid tablets for my 9 yr old daughter who weighs 4.7 stone and I can't remember how many to give her. ## Hello, Donna! How are you? At her age, it would really be best to check with her doctor. The dosage can vary, depending on her overall health and the condition being treated, plus the doctor may want you to taper them to prevent withdrawal complications.

I'm 19 weeks pregnant. Had a sore throat and now I feel a drip almost to the back of my throat.

No definitive proof of harm to the baby has been proven, when a woman takes this while pregnant, but risk can't be ruled out, so it's placed in pregnancy category C and is recommend that it only be used during pregnancy if there are no alternatives available. But, if you do start it, you should finish all of it, as prescribed. Did they have you try any other medications...

I was prescribed Prednisolone to treat Polymyalgia 11 years ago. Initially I took 15mg a day which was quickly reduced to 10 and gradually to 5mg. I have tried gradually reducing the dose many times in the intervening years but always ended up with a severe return of the original problem. I have now managed to reduce the dose to 4mg daily. My condition is aggravated by my having type 2 Diabetes for which I take insulin because of the steroid treatment. I have recently noticed swelling in my legs and ankles during the evening more especially during periods of hot weather. Also my stomach and breasts seem enlarged. I am trying again to reduce the dose but am concerned about long term effects. Any comments or advice would be appreciated. ## You may always have to take a medication to treat...

How to gradually reduce 40mg daily dosage of deltacotril having taken this for 3 days. Unsure if GP said to reduce by 10mg or 20 mg daily. Thanks ## Hi, Ann! Calling your GP to check is never a bad idea. However, I doubt that it was a 20mg reduction, such tapering is usually done in 5 or 10mg increments, but you should definitely call them to check and be sure. It's really for your own health and safety, since there are serious risks associated with the sudden withdrawal of a high dose. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been prescribed 6 tabs of 5mg a day. Do I take them all at once or spread out over the day? ## Hi Frankie, The "usual adult dose" varies for each individual, but is generally taken in divided doses 1 to 4 times a day. Your doctor may recommend that you take it at various times throughout the day or all at once, but that is for him/her to decide since it's different for everyone. Unfortunately, because of this, I can't really give a more direct answer; but I hope this general advice helps! ## Hi I was diagnoesed with bell's pulsy around 6months back and dr asked me to start deltacortil, 30mg per day,thrice in a day.

Recently I had an absess, went on antibiotics and got the tooth removed. At the same time my left hand side of my face pulled down somewhat - my lips at the side, my eyelid, hard to talk or smile, face distorted. My doctor says it might be Bells Palsy. Does this normally happen with an absess or maybe they are not related? Is Bells Palsy temporary?

Can you advise on any of this, Thanks ## You can learn more about Bell's Palsy here: It's basically when something causes paralysis of some of the facial nerves and yes, it can sometimes be caused from a bad infection that spreads.

I was diagnosed one year ago with ulcerative colitis. After being put on numerous amounts of different medications, my gastroenterologist decided the most effective thing to do would to be to start the drug azathioprine, taking prednisolone as well - starting at 60mg per day and decreasing the dosage by 5mg every week. I am currently now on 20mg per day and have noticed a significant weight gain (around 8kg) and my face has increased massively (especially swollen eyelids and a double chin as well) I used to be of an average body type and frame (not too skinny and not too robust) but it has gotten to the point where I refuse to go in photos and end up having to leave parties or social events early, as I let my emotions get the better of me, and just end up in tears.. The first thing I no...
